Garry McGivern Radio Interviews

Here you can listen to the radio interviews I’ve had while cycling around on my trusty bike, Passepartout.

Unfortunately, my first-ever radio interview in 2008 on Spirit FM isn’t available. The station didn’t keep any recordings of it! It was just before I embarked on my first long-distance ride Bilbao to Bognor.

Wave 105 interview- October 2011

• Wave 105, one of my local radio stations, interviewed me just before I set off on my world tour. They broadcast the interview on the day I set off, on the 29th October 2012.

ABC Brisbane interview- May 2012

• My following radio interview came six months later when I reached Brisbane in Australia. It was with Phil Smith of ABC Brisbane and broadcast on his Sunday show “The Sunday Spin” on 13^th May 2012.
